When the war ended in 1763, Schiller's father became a recruiting officer and was stationed in Schwäbisch Gmünd. His wife and children also visited him occasionally wherever he happened to be stationed. Kaspar Schiller was rarely home during the war, but he did manage to visit the family once in a while. He was named after king Frederick the Great, but he was called Fritz by nearly everyone. His father was away in the Seven Years' War when Friedrich was born. Schiller grew up in a very religious Protestant family and spent much of his youth studying the Bible, which would later influence his writing for the theatre. They also had five daughters, including Christophine, the eldest.
They also worked together on Xenien, a collection of short satirical poems in which both Schiller and Goethe challenge opponents of their philosophical vision.įriedrich Schiller was born on 10 November 1759, in Marbach, Württemberg, as the only son of military doctor Johann Kaspar Schiller (1733–1796) and Elisabetha Dorothea Schiller (1732–1802).
This relationship and these discussions led to a period now referred to as Weimar Classicism. They frequently discussed issues concerning aesthetics, and Schiller encouraged Goethe to finish works that he had left as sketches. During the last seventeen years of his life (1788–1805), Schiller developed a productive, if complicated, friendship with the already famous and influential Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
